Chelsea fans hope rise as club agree €58m Edinson Cavani fee

There have been very
dramatic scenes in the transfer window this term. One standing out is the Cavani saga.

Chelsea have beaten
off interest from Manchester City and Real Madrid to a deal in the region of
€58million with Napoli for star striker Edinson Cavani

According to Italian
publication Sport Mediaset, Stamford Bridge owner Roman Abramovich won the race
because he was offering cash to complete the deal.

There are claims
that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was keen for a number of squad
players at the Santiago Bernabeu to be included in a deal, but Napoli preferred
a cash deal.

On another end of
the EPL, Manchester City had reportedly been interested but these developments
suggest they have fallen behind their rivals as they are yet to officially
appoint a new manager, widely expected to be Manuel Pellegrini.

The report also
claims Cavani is likely to agree terms with Chelsea quickly as he greatly
admires new Blues boss Mourinho.

Napoli president
Aurelio di Laurentiis wanted a cash deal as he has agreed to bankroll new
manager Rafael Benitez in revamping the squad for a tilt at the Scudetto and
dethroning Juventus.

One of Benitez’s
major targets, the report claims, is Etihad Stadium striker Edin Dzeko and that
a deal should be possible if a bid in the region of €25million comes in.

What do you have to
say about this astronomical figure, is it worth it?
